C
To my aching glow

You got a hold of me now...
C
How you rendered slow
Em
But harder than hell to my ground
D
I'm looking for my old mans' shoes
C
I'm kicking off these old town blues...
C
Don't leave me here
Em
Cos' I just won't survive
C
There's a raven hovering
Em
But a-he's keeping me alive...
D
I've known him all my life
C
He's the spirit of a young man mourning
D
But like the shadow of a carving knife
C
He's not the danger but the warning sign
And we're kicking off easy
C
Hey....
Em
Oh I can't seem to move
C
I'm paralysed....
Em
I'm chocking on my holy mood
D
Cos I wanna be an old man too
C
I wanna be a role model to my kids
D
I wanna teach them how to love
C
But you gotta show me how to live
And we're kicking off easy
